johnny pump 

Johnny pump is used throughout New York City's five boroughs as a nickname for a fire hydrant in the traditional style. Siamese and more modern pipe-style hydrants are not Johnny pumps.
This term was used commonly in The Bronx and Manhattan during the 1976 Bicentennial when they were painted red, white and blue - with stars and stripes.

Children and inner-city residents use this term more than adults or Manhattan residents not originally from the inner city.
